@Elliot Kirk I'm looking forward to improving accessibility with on-screen access programs. such as NVDA and narrator. poor availability when navigating with a mouse on web pages. content is barely voiced.

In case you do not know this, but you can right click on "any" link no matter where it is.. i.e. Favorite/favorite bar/link on web page.. etc.... and there will be an option to open in new tab...... I use this option all the time....

I Like this idea. To be able to choose which sites to always clear on exit instead of having the option, but having no choice as to which sites.... But I think there needs to be an easier way to add sites. Having to add them one at a time could be time consuming. Would be nice that when you click the add button a popup appears that shows "all" the sites you have currently visited with a check box along side each where by you can choose which sites to either "not" clear on exit or "to" clear on exit. I think the choice should be "not" clear on exit....

My folders on the fav bar are now yellow. They look totally out of place and kinda (actually very) ugly. A small unpleasant surprise (hopefully you can revert the change), but otherwise I'm really happy, you guys are doing awesome job.

Good work all! This is truly impressive and makes you think just how much work goes into building & supporting something like this :) You're all the real MVP's!

I'm waiting on my AAD sync so I can split my work and personal fav's! And so my customers can just have everything sync'd to the cloud. Jump onto another computer and it's all back. It's going to be amazing once all this is complete.

@Elliot Kirk Something that I find that is missing from the current dev build, is the original Edge favorites menu and settings, slide out tab. Personally that was one thing that had drawn me to edge originally over other browsers, as it felt more streamlined and easier to see and use... It would be interesting, if we aren't going to get that style back to understand the reasoning behind the change.

However, overall I love the changes that have been made, and how much you guys really take into consideration the feedback... I wish you guys well with this endeavor!

@RubyBell Hi, my job require me to open 8 to 10 link in the same time every hour and report some financial issues, to do that i pin my favorites manager, so one click in a new tab would help me very much

@MarsMas - If you use the "middle Click" on the mouse, the favorite/link etc will open in one click on a separate tab. This also works if you group your favorites into folders. One click will open all links in the folder.

I don't know if this bug was already present before, but switching a youtube video to fullscreen (and back to normal) is really slow. It takes about 3 seconds to fully "expand". Works fine in Opera, basically instantly.

Why are so many people missing the old folder colour? They were a pain and didn't stand out from regular bookmarks enough. I'm really glad to see them coloured normally now.

My main gripe with Chromium Edge now is just that it doesn't look enough like Edge. Those squared edges look cool in the main app - I'd like to see them in the Chromium version as well. Oh, and the super slick smooth scrolling needs to come across too.

because to me, the yellow folder looks dated. Like I said, it's not the end of the world, I just prefer the old folder icon.

I agree 100% with your second point. The "old" Edge looks so much better. The main/top part of the browser is not as tall, the URL bar is perfectly sized (the new one is HUGE), there are no Fluent elements etc. I absolutely love the new context menu design though (I believe this will be the default context menu design for the whole OS in the future).

Yellow folders are very welcome, they existed in the old Edge and it makes totally sense to have them here as well, old folders were too Chrome-esque, and the less this browser looks like a Google product, the better

@Elliot Kirk I would love to test AAD integration with SSO and an enterprise account. but if I log off with my private account and want to re-login -- I dont get any other option than "personal MS account".
